A glimpse into Hong Kong's fascinating architecture
The Hong Kong Planning and Infrastructure Exhibition Gallery makes use of interactive displays, 3-D models and other fun methods to display the planning and infrastructure projects of the Government of Hong Kong, as well as the historical development of the territory from a small fisherman's village to an international metropolis, and is recommended for everybody who has the slightest interest in architecture (and even for those who don't)...
Occupying the ground floor of Murray Road Multi-storey Car Park Building, just across the street from Chater Garden (On the other side of the junction from BOC Tower), the gallery comprises six main sections: Imprint, Hong Kong 2030, New Kai Tak, Transport and Logistics, Sustainable Development and Living Environment. Visitors can also take photos inside the photo booth against a backdrop of Hong Kong's tourist attractions and send them to their families and friends via e-mail.
The gallery's address is: G/F, Murray Road Multi-storey Car Park Building,
2 Murray Road (across the street from Chater Garden)
Opening Hours : 10 am - 6 pm, daily (closed on Tuesdays, unless Tuesday falls on a Public Holiday, and on the first two days of the Chinese New Year).
Admission is free

Participation is free (other than a refundable deposit of HK$100 per person) but limited, so it is advisable to book well in advance, through the HKTB Visitor Hotline: (+852) 2508 1234
